@stoneymonster I remember seeing the #Pleiades in 1995 when I started school at #UIUC. It was so clear that first week at school away from the big city of #Chicago.

#uiuc #aclu “The University has added several vague and arbitrary requirements and set violation thresholds that are far too low,” the letter, obtained by the Tribune, said. “As a result, student protestors have and will continue to be subject to an unpredictable disciplinary regime that effectively puts their academic careers at risk for engaging in protected speech.”

Illinois Students Who Protested Gaza Genocide Are Facing Felony Mob Charges
Students from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) — one of the largest public universities in the country — constructed an encampment known as the Popular University for Gaza in April 2024. They eventually voluntarily disassembled the encampment.
In July, Champaign County State’s Attorney #JuliaRietz — who has been on the faculty of UIUC’s law school since 2009 — began issuing summonses to appear in court for Class Four felony mob action charges, which carry up to three years in prison. Rietz publicly stated that these charges were pursued at the direct request of the university.
As the current round of Israeli violence in #Gaza surpasses the one-year mark, #UIUC has staked its position firmly out as one of the most threatening schools in the U.S. for students who are outwardly opposed to ethnic cleansing, #apartheid and genocide.

Dread hits
Read thru all #UIUC's #MSLIS program offerings in their catalogue
Obsessed with the song Bigger Than Us by #WhiteLies bc (I misheard) the lyrics: "And I feel like I'm breaking up and I wanted to stay. And the lights on the hillside, don't take me this way. And I want you to hold me, and I want you to pray. This is bigger than us."
2/2
These are some of the first DVDs I ever owned (if not *the* first): the first releases of Cowboy Bebop by Sunrise. I got them while living in the UIUC dorms by cheesing a “earn Amazon Points by seeing ads” program sometime in 1999 to 2000; it was trivial to launch the program, use keyboard controls to move the window that served the banner ads off-screen, and then leave it running 24/7. Good times…

So I just heard from someone who's kid is starting at #UIUC this year that total cost of attendance for an out of state kid for one year there is $60K
I have a kid and I'd be happy if she someday went to a good state school but that... is a big number

I'll be attending the Center for Digital #Agriculture 2024 Conference at #UIUC on March 6 if any #Champaign Mastodon people want to say hello!
@henrihelvetica We supported a number of UNIX variants, and this was back in the day when vendor C compilers were still commonly used, etc, so everyone on the team used a different brand of workstation -- mine was a DEC 3000 AXP running OSF/1, then later a PC running BSD/386.
I've got a handful of postage-stamp sized pictures from back then...
Oof that was a wet one! But we did it #BigTen10k #Big10 #Chicago #RunChicago #Illini #UIUC
